yeah its just my opinion. the K's weigh less than the stock GT3 wheels? thats shocking. how much less? do you have numbers

i have been researching the GT3 as I might sell the turbo and I thought it had light wheels already.

Yes, I know, however I am not crazy about the looks of them. I reviewed most worthwhile wheels out there: HRE, Kinesis, HRE, Cargraphic, Champion, ect. and for me Kinesis was the perfect balance of looks, strength and lightweight. I also like wheels that are easy to clean, so that ruled out more complex patterns for wheel centers. The 5 point star pattern is classic and aggressive in looks and has always been one of my favorites...
